: That page is about javascript, not about
: the USER_AGENT environmental variable,
:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

that's true.  there is most certainly a difference.

:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
: and there is *no* mention of AOL
: anywhere on the page.
:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

try looking in the source again, like say line 136-138.

:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
: Did you mean to specify a different URL?
:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

i doubt it since his recount of the issues was almost word for word what i
found in the source of the page.

i'd be hard-pressed to believe the issue existed by simply reading it in the
source of webreference's browser/platform/object support detection page.

just my 2¢,
